PATEK PHILIPPE WHITE GOLD AND DIAMOND LADIES BRACELET WATCH REF. 3189/2G

Patek Philippe ladies cocktail watches from the 1950s capture a spirit of elegance and opulence of a bygone era. Originally, the retail price of such a watch lavishly set with diamonds would have far eclipsed the price for a men’s time only watch – or a complicated watch. The price reflected the amount of workmanship and resources necessary for the production of such a timepiece. The diamonds sourced were the highest quality available at the time, and the attention to setting the stones is a work of art in itself. The hinged and pierced dial cover, as well as the foliate and heart links are the work of both the jeweler’s and the case maker’s. The key mark ‘1’ is stamped on the inside of the case back indicating that this case was made by Wenger, the celebrated case maker of the majority of ref. 2499s. So put on this bracelet watch, grab your favorite vintage inspired martini, and raise your glass to the master craftsman and craftswomen that made this watch to be enjoyed for generations.
